Summary: Desecration
Review: The Desecration book 9.... when last we visited the Trib-Force, I said, 'Head for the hills!' , but these guys don't know the meaning of retreat. That's good for the cause-I'll tell you now I have some trouble getting behind the picture of Carpathia as some kind of buffoon riding a pig and all that-He seems to know that God is in control and cuts some deals; which, by the way he crawfishes on at the first opportunity. We lose some friends by deceit, letting us know that Carpathias' minions are not the dense dumb bunnies we may stereotype them as. Praises to the team of Jenkins and Lahay for the handling of the Chang character. Wonderful and insightful... inspiring. There is a lot more in here for the fans of LEFT BEHIND. Like I said, don't be fooled by Carpathias' foolish antics. He is out to Kill- and Kill he will. One of the great nasty characters in modern literature... One that is to come. If you aren't ready, get ready. I think truth will be much more painful than this mild fictionAlso recommended: The Price of Immortality is a book that should be read by everyone at least ONCE!

Summary: STOP! You're giving Christian fiction a bad name.
Review: I saw book 10 at Costco and didn't even bother to give it a glance. There was a time when I waited eagerly for each new release, but no more. With Desecration (#9) this series has hit rock bottom. I have never tried harder to give a book a chance, I wanted to like this book and be inspired, but my effort was as pointless as the book. Tim and Jerry have stopped trying and are just mailing it in. They're on a beach somewhere counting their money. I wonder if they really believe the story they are writing.

Summary: brace yourself before reading this book
Review: okay, so we all know that this series isn't great literature (at least most of us anyway), but despite the flaws i quite enjoyed books 4-8 (even though 1-3 didn't do it for me). however, for this book the author abandoned the good parts of his writing in favor of poor sensationalism. my three main complaints are: 1. theology. this series has always been controvertial theologically. i agree with their general outline of end time events, and on other issues, even when i disagreed with the author's position, i could see what the basis was. however, in this book, some of their positions are WAY, WAY out there. i mean seriously messed up. i'm still trying to figure out what left field they dragged the "second moses" concept out of. 2. miracles. i believe in miracles, but i think the author decided to write a miracle every 10 pages, and some of them are seriously hokey (like random people spouting hebrew for no discernable reason). yes, God is a God of power, and shows his strength. he is also the same god who invented subtlety. 3. plot. it's even worse than most in the series. it reads like a bad B rate movie starring dolf lundgren. bottom line: it'll probably satiate the masses, and if you're reading this review, you'll probably read the book because you have the hook in your mouth, just like me. however, if you prefer intellegent or well written literature, shudder and brace yourself before reading this book.

Summary: Not worth your time
Review: This book is incredibly boring and really has no point. It has an extreme lack of characterization and the plot is so messy. It skips around from person to person and is written in such a way that you have no idea who is saying what and who isn't. This had the potential to be a good book, but it was written way below its level and seems to be more of an indignity on Christianity than a helpful force. It's more likely to make people fear God than bring them to Him. It kind of does the opposite of what it seems to be there for. So, I'd recommend to stay away from this book.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Desecration, part 9 of the Left Behind series, is great. It manages to be entertaining and enlightening at the same time. I was glad to find my favorite characters once again in a gripping story based on the book of Revelation in the Bible. Trust me, this one dosen't disappoint!

Summary: greedy authors
Review: The series is being stretched way beyond what it should have been. The simple reason would probably be greed. $$$$ seems to always corrupt the good in things.

Summary: disappointing desecration
Review: I am a hard core Left Behind fan, had the web page, screen saver, movie, CD's books and all- until then. I stopped reading when they killed David Hassid. He was one of the few belivable characters and by far the smartest. But thoughout the book they started doing dumb things and it was as if someone else wrote the book, not Tim Lahaye or Jerry B. Jenkins. I put my name on the "be first to get it List at my christian book store. Now I am not so sure any more. Come on guys you are so much better, I don't want the next one to be left behind on my book shelf.

Summary: Totally Awesome
Review: This book is by far the best! Nicoale doesn't even pretend anymore. He is totally mad, killing all who oppose him. Meanwhile, you got the bowls of wrath beginning their judgements, and christians fleeing nicoale's wrath. Also, the tribulation has been compromised, and several of the members are dying like flies! Excellent book, with a very suspensful ending as Nicoale prepares to drop 2 bombs on hundreds of thousands of christians in one area!

Summary: Want help falling asleep? They should've quit 3 books ago
Review: This book is laid out in a format ideal for childrens books. Huge margins and large print. After reading the past few books, I see why....they had to be able to make it look as if it were really a book inside of the covers, and not just a tract.
I was totally loving the Left Behind series. When I got to the 8th book ("The Mark")however, I was getting a little bored and felt that 'too much' was being stretched out. Then Book 9 (Desecration) came out and I continued to be a loyal fan and we purchaed it also. After waking myself up through most of the book, I was able to summarize it for my husband in about 20 minutes and save him the time of reading it. He didn't really miss anything. Now, to give it a benefit of a doubt, I have begun book 10 ("The Remnant"). Guess what! - you really don't have to read any more of the books.......the talent sort of piddled out. There really is not further enjoyment, surprises, or mystery coming from the characters or the story line. Plus, save yourself from having to learn any further absurd names. Save your money - if your really want to read it and continue with what story there may be, get it at the library. Or, if you insist on buying it, remember it will be great to press flowers in. The talent that started this series, has certainly, and sadly, been used up. It is time to move on to something new fella's. Sorry!
